I got a 6KU and so far I am happy with it, it is light and I love the way it looks, the only downside is the brakes they are so ****.

DAMN my old touring bike weighed that much with racks, bottle cages, larger bars and some other accessories. It was a fully geared 3x9 bike with disc brakes. Heck my new touring bike is 28lbs with a lot of the same. That is ridiculous that a fixed gear bike would weigh that much and you want to replace it with the same crap with maybe a different material? Oy vey.

"Weighs at least" = estimate, likely exaggerated, not actual weight.

Well The frame and crankset weighs close to 5kg and the frame is a high tensile steel frame with a semi-aero down tube like modern aluminum frames just a little smaller. Perhaps the scale is wrong but i kid you not, when I lift the frame/w/crankset it feels heavier than a gallon of water.
